In Animation, I would like to work as animator, prop / puppet maker (art assistant) and / or director in Stop Motion Animation. I wouldn’t mind having some contracts now and then in 2D Animation too, especially in rare traditional Animation on paper projects, or even work as a Story Artist, even though I tend to animate better in straight ahead animation than pose to pose.

I would like either to work in a big studio like Aardman, or smaller independent studios, or even get commissions for commercial or get funding for my independent films. I feel divided between working in a studio and being an independent filmmaker. I wouldn’t probably reject an offer of staff position in a studio; however, I see being freelancer in contracts would also be an interesting path for me. Working on feature films or series is interesting for me too.

I wouldn’t mind having to move somewhere else to work, even if temporarily for a contract. Although a permanent move would have to be for longer contracts or a staff job as we have a mortgage. Obviously, the rates would play a huge role in any moving decision. For a permanent move I would prefer to stay in the UK, if possible, although I wouldn’t mind living abroad for work specially if it’s in a temporary basis. If I had to move abroad, I would prefer to move to Canada as it seems to match good animation prospects with less gun violence compared to the USA. On the same note, I think Europe is attractive, but opportunities are more limited. Of course, opportunities are welcome there too.
